Film: 2007 Archives

After having lost the Volks lottery for the A&P outfit last month, I pulled myself up and made the pattern included with Volume 8 of DollyBird for the Alice & the Pirates dress. If I weren't so overwhelmed this month I'd make all three patterns... but I have stuff to do! Lulu looks fantastic, don't she? They didn't include the hat pattern, so I had to figure that one out myself. Oy! I used inkjet decals for dark fabric to get the patterns on the dress. It turned out really well, I think!

I also had the very great fortune to get invited to have dinner with the Isobe's of Baby, the Stars Shine Bright here in San Francisco a few weeks ago. I'll make more hay about that at a later date.

I just want to say though, that VIZ Media/VIZ Pictures, the lovely folks who hosted the dinner, will be building and opening the VIZ J-Pop Center in San Francisco's Japan Town some time in 2008. Including a small theater featuring anime and Japanese live action films. It sounds like it will be all kinds of amazing!

In fact, I had just been thinking how much I was enjoying the second season of HBO's "Rome."

"Rome" is incredibly entertaining, while also being incredibly shocking. It's history porn.

Mmmmm, history porn. Awesome article.

Aieeeeeeeeeeee! Available for preorder now. To be released in four months *falls over* on April 10th. I've been waiting for sooo long. Season One was out in 2001! That is a mighty long time.

We're very excited. Go order yours now. K, thanks.

Because the new year is all about making lists!
